The Human Drive
Posted in Poetry with tags art, Atlantic Ocean, dustus, Dustus Blog, peace, short poem on July 10, 2019 by dustusI’ll sit & watch…
The smooth gentle sway
Of dune grass ruffled wind
Feel old fear
Melt through waves
—Warming blood & skin
I sense the ocean calling here
That conscience sound within
A love that seldom seems to fly
When driven to just live
Target of Crossfire

Razed home we found, framed, & wired
—In tent bullets rain
Twerk Interrupted

Mid-twerk on bartop
—Grinding halts.
Patrons gawk…
Her get up sloppy, mocked, filmed—
She rumpshakes unphased!

Lathed scythe poised glinting
Bovine lulls
Ruminates…
Not knowing its blood shall let
Their cloudless sky rain
